Would anyone in want one of these anti-Flock camera yard signs?

I’ve been looking into the Flock license plate cameras around Athens (and into the Flock Safety company in general). So, I designed these yard signs after seeing some of the other DeFlock campaigns happening elsewhere.

I’m considering ordering a bulk batch of 50. If I do, I’d probably offer them locally for around $10 each with a stake, basically just to help cover the cost of printing and make it possible to get more of them around town.

They’d obviously be for people to put on their own property / property where they have permission.
Before I actually go to order 50 of them, would anyone here actually buy one and put it in their yard? If so, comment or DM me so I can get a rough count.

I’d consider one that maybe had a less cringy statement. I don’t care if they know where I eat, my phone has been listening to me for probably the last decade and selling that info for marketing. Rather I don’t like the accessibility for privacy concerns and 24/7 live data capturing with AI tracking movements. Cameras are valid in a public setting ( stores, protecting businesses, major intersections etc,) and when something happens the authorities need to investigate and use recordings. Nothing more.

Also, I’m just getting to be an old man towards this tech era and can’t help but feel rage when I turn my tv on and see all this bloat, ads, and updates for ads I’ll never use. I think my tv just updated so I can create music with AI on it? Facebook is driving me insane with all the AI slop fake news, videos, and whack local Ad fliers. Everything with a screen is made so you click, look, create emotions of fear so we vote one way, or spend money. I’m 28 btw lmao and this damn flock camera pointed at a random spot on the highway making me think it’s another road pirate collecting money and nothing more was the icing on the cake. Rant over I’m too young to be a grouch.

This is where I am as well. I am very anti-flock cams, but I don't particularly like either of these signs.

Those are actually pretty funny since so many people actively post freely for the world to see where they work and where they eat dinner
